Drink Dance

Made in Livorno, Italy, Tuaca is a 70-proof, orange- and vanilla-flavored brandy. According to legend, the liqueur was first prepared for Lorenzo the Magnificent, the 15th-century Medici family member, who likely didn’t mix it with Red Bull. This evening, celebrate the drink that makes a better bomb than Jagermeister when Tuaca presents the Body Art Ball Evolution at the Uptown Theater (3700 Broadway, 816-753-8665). Think painted bodies whirling, slithering and dancing while the sweet Tuaca goodness flows. Register to attend at tuacabodyartball.com — print out the ticket and bring your own ID to get in. No one under 21 will be admitted. Free-alcohol events fill up fast, so be there at 8 p.m. when the doors open.— Berry Anderson
